Lasagna drive-in dinner

Tickets should be purchased in advance and are available at the center or from parents of CCC students. This fall the day care center is working toward the goal of becoming accredited with the National Association of Child Care Professionals.

Right now the center is making big plans for a summer of fun. If you have questions about the summer program for school-age children or want to purchase tickets for the lasagna dinner, contact Coleen Moore, director of Christian Child Care, at 732-5750.
